Batman,

Not true at all. If a major hurricane hits, it will interrupt natural gas sites throughout the southeast. If you don't believe me, look at pipeline company websites. One I am familiar with is Colonial Pipeline if Alpharetta, GA. They have a whole page on their website on hurricane preparedness and how to minimize the issues they encountered after Katrina, Rita, et al.
